adidas' Crazy 8 Is Returning In Two Monochromatic Colorways

Published February 21, 2023

Even though Kobe Bryant passed away over three years ago, his rich legacy will continue to live on through his raw talent on the hardcourt, the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation, and of course, his wide array of signature shoes. Now, eighteen years after its initial release, the adidas Crazy 8 is returning for another round of releases. Known mainly as the shoe that Kobe wore during his first All-Star Game, if you didn't manage to secure your size in years prior, you're in luck.

Coming back in two monochromatic color options, the first pair opts for a crisp white and grey color combination and is crafted from leather and suede. The second one, on the other hand, boasts a more retro aesthetic, with matte white leather and glossy black patent panels contrasting against each other. Woven canvas pull tabs across the tongue and heel offer a rugged look and feel, and underfoot, the Crazy 8's signature zig-zag midsole sees the light of day once again, infused with EVA foam for comfort and cushioning that's sure to dominate on the court, it's also returning with adi' critically-acclaimed Feet You Wear technology.

The adidas Crazy 8 Pack is expected to release sometime in 2023 in men's sizes. Set to arrive at adidas, the CONFIRMED app, and select online and in-store retailers worldwide, a retail price has yet TBA.
